I didn’t plan it like this, it just kinda occurred on that way. ( I likewise didn’t plan to be on the Refuel poster, however that was additional cool!)

My 2013 goal was to run 13 half Marathons. I understood it is difficult to discover races in summertime months so I went out guns blazin’ to get in a great number of races in the very first half of the year. So, I ended up having completed 13 RACES by June.

And I kept going.

But, I didn’t run 13 half marathons this year. Technically I missed that goal.

However, I would like to believe I surpassed it since I ran 26 races overall –

9 full marathons?!?! <- That ish cray. I only ran 2 last year as well as they wrecked me. I credit history figuring out my fueling as well as the truth that I’ve been running for so long I lastly made an effort to discover more about my body, running, eating as well as training for long distance running. I discovered so much in my RRCA accreditation course! I likewise started to listen to my body more as well as push when I could, sluggish down when I needed as well as made healing a huge priority. Read: I figured out my body as well as didn’t do precisely what a book said, a blog writer said, my mom said… This publish isn’t a preferred Races of 2013 publish since I truly would run all of them again. I didn’t have fantastic runs at all of them since my focus was on quantity not high quality this year – which is the precise opposite of what most people do as well as I am A-okay with that. I do me, you do you. But, I did want full disclosure that I didn’t run 13 half marys, ‘only 12’. as well as I did discover something at each race. So I’ll share… What I discovered From Running 26 Races This Year I discovered that I can run 13.1 miles using a cowboy hat at wine & Dine. I discovered that carb packing is extremely important for running a full marathon. looking back on the Marine Corps Marathon I was dragging, felt lead legs as well as hit the wall a number of times during that Camiseta Selección de fútbol de Croacia race. I reviewed what I did the day before as well as realized I did not have adequate carbs for lunch or dinner the day before. #Fail

I discovered that being close to goal, however missing it makes me feel this weird, can’t breathe kinda feeling after a race. (Read: I believed I was hyperventilating however I truly almost started to cry – I just didn’t recognize it, after the Santa Rosa Marathon.)

I discovered that I state extremely poor words to SR when she’s yelling at me during a race. (Ragnar SoCal)

I discovered that PR-ing feels so good.

But so Camiseta Inter Milan does running a race for fun with friends. Running is supposed to be fun, don’t take it as well seriously.

And now I am prepared to set some goals for 2014!

Question: What did you discover this year?
